Stephens: 'Ginger crackhead' McGregor dodged me backstage
After being added to Conor McGregor's verbal highlight reel, Jeremy Stephens knew he had to do something.
Stephens questioned McGregor's knockout power at the UFC 205 press conference on Tuesday, which led to him being publically roasted when the featherweight champion seemed to not even know who Stephens was.
